Is terrorist supporting cunt that was fucking/married to her brother and lied about it? Or was that some other 7th Century desert pedophile worshipper?
Hard to tell them apart, particularly when they wear their bin bags.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that this new batch of Dems, along with their cheerleaders in the mainstream media, will so turn off the American voting public, that this will be a short 2-year run for Dems. This House is going to be an out of control 5th grade classroom.
Pelosi and Schumer have a BIG problem: the lunatics are no longer merely a part of their party, but are becoming its face and voice and ideological leaders.
This may be a bigger threat to the Democrats than to Trump or the GOP, in the long run.
How can such stupid statements not trigger an adverse reaction? I don't suppose any of her fellow Democrats will criticize her for it. This is why I'm cynical and wary about diversity. I wouldn't want to be a minority in a country where people like this are the majority. Look at the way the Palestinians treat the Christian Palestinians in their midst. They're far more apt to apply power to truth than the reverse.
I'm old enough to remember a time when so many women were elected to Congress it was going to bring about a new decorum. Things were going to be much nicer because the ladies have arrived.

You have seriously underestimated the stupidity of the average 2018 Democrat voter, particularly the women.
She’s essentially the successor to long-time punchline John Conyers in the Detroit 13th. Her constituents will love her for this sort of trash talk.
She’s a far-left, anti-Israel, Pro-Palestinian harridan. A harpy. A shrew. I reminded all of you that in 2016, when she had been term-limited out of the Michigan legislature, she appeared uninvited at a meeting of the Economic Club of Detroit and was arrested while attempting to shout down candidate Donald Trump and stop his speech.
Now; get used to her. I don’t see anyone dislodging her from her majority-minority district for many election cycles to come. Even when Michigan (likely) loses one Congressional seat after the 2020 census, her district will be drawn in a way protected by the VRA, and she’ll be in a position of safe re-election.
She's probably been talking this way in front of her children since they were two.
As a result, they probably pepper their speech with Motherfucker, Goddamn and Cunt - except when its a Religious ceremony - and then they tone it down and just say Shit and asshole.
Blogger gilbar said... as they say; This is How you get More Trump
You might be right.
Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that.
Rashida Tlaib’s district always was and always will be a lost cause. The Trump problem is not that Rasida Tlaibs exist in Congress. The problem is that in the second year of Trump, we lost 2 winnable Republican House seats in the Detroit suburbs.
Rashida Tlaib republican Chuck: "Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that"
Another in a long line of hilariously transparent lefty lies.
Massive republican retirements at the most senior levels of the House combined with the complete exposure of the GOP estsblishment alignment with the dems and the complete abandonment of the republican base by these LLR's in terms of immigration, trade and healthcare in particular, sealed the deal.
Ryan leaves congress with a 12% approval rate...and for good reason.
Romneys little missive the other day completely ignored and did not even attempt to address immigration (republican base voter chief concern) nor trade (democrat/Trump voters chief concern).
In other words, another in an endless line of gifts to the dems/left by the LLR's.

House elections are local, and the "American voting public" in the districts that elect people like Tlaib comprises voters who want people like Tlaib in Congress. I predict they'll be delighted with her performance and return her, or people like her, to Congress perpetually. If they were the least bit dismayed by a Congress that resembles "an out of control 5th grade classroom", they would not have sent Tlaib there.
There is no wise, sane "American voting public" that exists apart from, and has veto power over, people who vote for people like Tlaib. There are only patches of sane voters who hopefully constitute a large enough percentage of a local population to elect enough sane people to Congress to counteract them. If current demographic trends continue, there will over time be more and more Tlaibs in Congress, and fewer and fewer people who will even be bothered to play-act at being members of the highest legislative body of a rule-of-law First World republic.
No; Drago you’ve got me wrong. And since I have been clear, the fault rests entirely with you. All readers should presume that your falsehoods about me are deliberate on your part.
Rashida Tlaib wants Democrats in charge of both houses of Congress, and she wants a President like Kamala Harris.
I want Republicans in charge, and I want a President like Mitt Romney.
Angle said... House elections are local, and the "American voting public" in the districts that elect people like Tlaib comprises voters who want people like Tlaib in Congress
that's totally true, But! my district (NE iowa) went back to blue, after being red. I doubt that there are LOTS of people (outside of shithole bastions of communism like Decorah, and Fayette) that are going to be impressed with what the demos are doing. Abby Finklestein is going to lumped in with the Tlaibs of the world, whether she admits it or not
some LLR that assumes that we've Never Read a single word he's Ever written, said... I want Republicans in charge, and I want a President like Mitt Romney.
I can only assume that he means (if he means anything,) that he wants Republicans to be in charge of surrendering to the democrats. You see, the trouble is i can't figure out how to get the killfile thing to work; so i READ what this person says
Do these Dim Ding Dongs have an actual legislative program? If they do, I haven't heard one.
My four year old grandson visited over Christmas. He does tend to have temper tantrums that dissolve into long and loud wailing and crying--he simply loses all control. He'd make a good Democrat congressman right now--he certainly has as much emotional stability as many of those critters.
Chuck: "Drago if you didn’t like 2018, you are reeeaasllly not gonna like 2020."
You sound precisely Inga.
Precisely.
And, once again, that jocular tone has returned to your blog postings...right after a dem/far left House victory.
Very very similar to your pre-Nov 2016 postings...when you thought Hillary was a lock.....followed by 2 very very angry years of your postings when republicans unexpectedly won across the board.
Hmmmmmm
An absolutely perfect correlation between democrat/lefty success and your happiness quotient.
Why, its almost as if you were merely posing as a conservative in order to attack republicans, defend democrats, smear Trump and help get him impeached. ..
But that cant be, can it?
After all, you are as completely invested in conservative policy success as your hero, Bill Kristol.....who took money from Soros and Omidyar and collaborated directly with FusionGPS and called for democrat victories at every level.
Well.
You are certainly as "conservative" and "lifelong republican-y" as that.
Because I am not a racist, I don't care at all about "diversity". Bad ideas come from all races, genders, sexes, creeds, and colors. Propping them up as the beneficial effects of "diversity" is an insult to our individual intelligence and our common humanity.
Chuck is right. Tlaib we shall have with us always.
LLR Chuck wants republican candidates with the "courage" to surrender, unconditionally, on live TV, in front of a world wide audience, to a lefty hack fake journalist from CNN (Chucks favorite network) and obama.

@eric, you know, I remember that, too. I wonder whether Althouse believed that, or did she know her own sex better than that?
I expect Tlaib to be "blacked out" by the MSM as it will reflect badly on democrats so this may be the very last thing we hear from her other than sporadic brain farts that are covered locally.
Ask yourself which would be worse for the country and the world: If the policies the Democrats are supporting are enacted or If the policies the Republicans are supporting are enacted
i can't figure out how to get the killfile thing to work
It doesn't work on the blogger comment page. You have to click on the title of the original post on the front page, scroll down, and hush the commenters there. Boo Hiss.
Given a choice between her and him? I want a president like her.
I supported obama in 12 would have supported him in08 if not for Palin.
As Vladimir said "worse is better"
Obama got us PDJT. PDJT is trying, and making a good start at, to stop our handcart ride to hell. Romney might have gotten us slightly softer seats and better pretzels. He wouldn't have even tried to slow it.

There is a concept of "Punching Down," which means you don't criticize anyone who is not a white male, or sympathetic to white males. It's a concept to which the Left is religiously devoted and one largely embraced by the news media.
That is why these outbursts, which are stunning to mainstream Americans and are likely to increase under an increasingly leftist Democratic Party, will not get traction in most media outlets.
It's not the result of simple passive bias, it's the result of a guiding principle.

The book, released in August, details the constitutional argument for impeachment. According to the website for the book, Trump should be impeached for taking the following actions:
Accepting illegal payments from foreign governments Using government agencies to persecute political enemies Obstructing justice Abusing the pardon power Undermining of the freedom of the press
It's a three shell monte game with no pea. Each side (Dems/Repubs) passes the shells and the pea back and forth. The recieving side then palms the pea while the American people watch the shell shuffle and choose the shell they think the pea is under.
Rashida Tlaib republican Chuck: "Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year."
LOL
So there's the static, unthinking, astonishingly defeatest "conservative" vision Chuck offers: vote in "dem lite" (which alway results in "dem heavy" policy wins) or sit back and just let the dems take complete control.....which is precisely the same result as the LLR Chuck "dem lite" outcome....
If that were even remotely axiomatically true, Trump would not be in the White House.
QED
What Chuck seeks is an acceptance of permanent democrat/lefty ascendance....because of course he does....which is precisely what a 5th column dem/lefty interloper posing as a conservative would do......
....but not in this case. LOL. Oh no. Not in this case.....
Its very very important to LLR Chuck that we simply accept the dem/left narratives and permanent deference to the dems.
Hmmmmmm
Now why, do you suppose, he would want that?....
To ask the question is to answer the question.
The only remaining uncertainty is whether or not LLR Chucks beloved Kasich (pro-obamacare, pro-open borders, pro-EU/China trade deal dominence, pro-endless wars at the direction of the EU, etc) will simply offer up a Kasich-Luz Warren National Unity Ticket......with Warren at the top of the ticket?
So now we can proclaim that we are going to defeat that bitch Pelosi? And we are going to defeat that bitch Ocasio? And certainly we are going to defeat that AOC cunt. Right?
I mean seriously, democrats are the most foul-mouthed of creatures.
...widely celebrated as the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress.
What would happen if instead of widely celebrating these media-manufactured "firsts", we asked what took this self-manufactured group so long? If getting elected to Congress is important enough to widely celebrate, just what have Palestinian-American women been doing that kept them from achieving what non-Palestinian women achieved long ago?
The alternative is that every new member of Congress becomes a "first" in some way. First left-handed Aries from an odd-numbered district. First lesbian with IBD from north of the Mason-Dixon Line. First person with a 3.24 gpa from an SEC school who professionally played the harmonica.
Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year.
When the CC Republicans leave the party, they're not going to be welcomed elsewhere. They're not going to be listened to, and they're not going to have any power.
The smart ones know this. Getting no respect from the activists and power brokers on the Left is why they became CC Republicans in the first place.
Blogger Richard Dolan said... Let's see if the "Democracy dies in darkness" team decides to run with this. Not very likely, of course.
If you had simply checked, you would have seen that in fact the Washington Post has had this story on their website for most of the morning. WaPo’s main angle seems to be the lukewarm criticism of Rep. Tlaib by Democratic leadership in the House.

Well, considering how hard a time Althouse had believing a Leftist Feminist Woman caught in politically motivated shenanigans and multiple lies MIGHT be a bald faced liar, I am going with 'no' for the second part.

Country Club Republicans gave control of the House to Democrats for four decades. That's what you are advocating for. Country Club Republicans have no desire to lead, to govern. They can only be the 'loyal opposition'. To hell with that, Give me a double dose of un-Presidental Trump, please. Or should I say TWO SCOOPS!
If the country club Republican like you that wasted two years whining about President Trumps latest tweet instead of getting behind the Presidents agenda, Republicans would have gained seats in the House. You whined all that away, because shutup.
Blogger PackerBronco said... Boy, her potty mouth is almost as bad as Chuck's, who's dropped more than a few f-bombs in this forum.
1. I am not a United States Representative. 2. I’ve never used vulgarity in a public speech. 3. You cannot find a single instance of me using a vulgarity unless I was being personally attacked in a repeated way by one of my regular habitual personal attackers on this blog’s comments pages.
LLR Chuck's Country Club republicans opposed Reagan, were severely uncomfortable with W's Christian faith, did not like the Tea Party and applauded the dems targeting the Tea Party members, laughed when obama targeted journalists and their families, defend the Europeans when they dont meet their defense requirements, collude with the dems to hollow out our middle class, and on and on it goes.
"Country Club republican" thinking leads to W handing the Education bill to Ted frickin Kennedy to write, nominates a David Souter and a Harriet Miers, raises taxes after promising never to do so, etc.
"Country Club republicanism" = permanent defeat of conservatism.
Which is why LLR Chuck worships at its altar and attacks any conservative that dares challenges the dems.
Rashida Tlaib republican Chuck: "You cannot find a single instance of me using a vulgarity unless I was being personally attacked in a repeated way by one of my regular habitual personal attackers on this blog’s comments pages"
LOL
I do not use vulgarity regardless of how I am attacked by leftists and their trained "country club/LLR" lap poodles.
Chuck wants you to believe that his extremeover the top vulgarity is the fault of conservatives on this blog. (Has to be conservatives since for some odd inexplicable reason the leftists here never ever attack Chuck, ever, for any reason...almost as if they instinctively know to protect their own...)
LOL
Is there any more quintessentially leftist mode of thinking than that?
I think not....
Again, quite telling. Not only is Chuck in permament democrat narrative alignment mode as well as in perfect lefty lingo talking point alignment, he also exhibits the same social characteristics.
@Greg: She says she spoke with passion. Anyone think of someone else who spoke with passion and hated Jews?
He may have spoken with passion and hated Jews, but I doubt that Hitler used Mutter Ficker during addresses to crowds. He likely thought that too coarse for public speeches.
Of course, Hitlers's supporters were far less uncouth than today's Democrat Party members. There is that to consider, after all: venue is important. Hitler was addressing Nazi Party rallies. Perhaps we can excuse Tlaib's use of "motherfucking" because she was addressing a sympathetic crowd of Democrat Party members.
3. You cannot find a single instance of me using a vulgarity unless I was being personally attacked in a repeated way by one of my regular habitual personal attackers on this blog’s comments pages.
I assume therefore you give Trump a pass if he rudely responds to someone who attacks him?
I'm not your Mother, but I suggest you might think about improving your mode of discourse rather than numbering your excuses for not doing so. Kind of would make the world a better place in some small way, IMHO. I'd give the same advice to Trump or any Leftist posting some diatribe against Trump or conservatives. We all could do with a bit more civility.
Has Mitt Romney weighed in on this passionate commentary and the coarsening of our political discourse?
Vulgarity is quite commonly spoken in my work environment, and has been for as long as I've been in this business (back to the early 80's). Can't muster much objection to her speaking this way. Not a fan of hypocrisy card form of critique either.
If someone says they want to kill you- you should believe them.
If someone says they want to destroy you- you should believe them.
If someone says your beliefs are wrongthink and should be suppressed and you should be reeducated- you should believe them.
If someone says you're evil because of your skin color you should realize they really believe that- or they wouldn't be saying it out loud.
If Jews and Christians ever wake up from their stupor and look at what Democrat politicians are saying, Democrats will never again control the house, senate, or be elected President. And if they succeed in getting people of pallor to view themselves as Whites rather than American, their hold on power is gone.
You cannot find a single instance of me using a vulgarity unless I was being personally attacked in a repeated way by one of my regular habitual personal attackers on this blog’s comments pages.
How dare anyone suggest that Chuck is responsible for his own behavior!
Boy! Chuck, fopdoodle extraordinaire, has really gotten bitchy about conservatives wandering off the Republican reservation. It is almost like he needs conservatives to kowtow to GOPe, Inc. as part of his (make believe, online only) persona or else!
Yeah, Trump has shown that LLRs are paper tiger pissants who really just want to lose honorably. And then he just went about the business of America, which is business.
312,000 jobs added and the long-term unemployed returning to the workforce. Amazing that doing conservative things (legislatively when Paul Ryan wasn't being a useless Pelosi chew toy) improves the position of normal Americans. But, we are told by the likes of Chuck, disgusting and useless fopdoodle, that Trump and the GOP will be routed because country club Republican shitstains will pound their tiny fists on their high chair trays if we don't go back to pretending LLRs have normals' best interests in mind.
I don't really give a shit what this new congresswoman has to say. She can go piss up a rope for all I care. I mean, who the fuck does this cunt think she is anyway. And if some cocksucker like Chuck or some motherfucker like Craig wants to defend her then -
Honest question because I don't know. What has he done that rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors? I dont think you can say Russia collusion when the investigation isn't done yet, can you?
Too bad Mittens didn’t want to actually fight to be President. Trump OWNS country clubs, but he’s smart enough to know that politics isn’t a country club.
Accepting illegal payments from foreign governments Got some examples? Is this like when Obama's campaign turned of zip code verification on credit card donations? Or is this like "donations" to a shady foundation?
Using government agencies to persecute political enemies Again, got some examples?
Obstructing justice I suppose this is in regards to firing Comey, but this hasn't stopped the Mueller investigation.
Abusing the pardon power Whom has he pardoned?
Undermining of the freedom of the press By criticizing them? He hasn't thrown any reporters in prison, unlike his predecessor.
With or without cause, they will impeach him if they can.
Big deal. They don't have to votes in the Senate to remove him. All it would demonstrate is that the Democrat members of the House don't like him. We already know that.
You dont have a case. In fact, what you have is precisely the opposite of what you think you have.
Trump businesses are simply playing by the rules you LLR's created with your dem allies. As any business must.
But Trump, as an elected figure, is openly fighting for rule changes which would overturn the current rules...and he is being fought tooth and nail by the dems and the....(wait for it)....LLR's!!!
Pattons quote that he would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me can be re-purposed perfectly by substituting Nancy Pelosi and the dem-supporting LLR cucks for the relevant parties.
Since Palestine never existed, there's no such thing as a Palestinian-American. Muslim-American or Arab-American would make more sense, except the left is anti-semitic, so they promote the "Palestinian" aspect.
Never mind how you get more Trump. The pressing question is, "Where do we get more Trump?"
The flip side of Chuck Republicans leaving Trump is going to be conservative Dems like Jim Webb leaning Trump. So, to answer your, question, the source has hardly gone dry. Events like this won't change minds in Tlaib's district, but it will in others.
'palestinians' are a grab bag of Bedouin, from many places including Albania, Arafat's uncle, the grand mufti, was circassian, which is a turkic people, the nephew was born in cairo, which was a whole other british colonial dependency, with some autonomous features, but tlaib is of reputedly Jordanian background,
yes james webb, an iconoclastic Reagan democrat who had resevations about overseas operations like Somalia, who reluctantly signed on to Afghanistan and Iraq, who chose poorly in embracing the democrats, the reaction in the 2016 primary debates, should have made that clear,
Undermining the free press? With mean tweets? The last President threatened journalists with jail and attempted to hack or intercept their communications to find out who the whistle blowers in his administration were.
The bar to undermining the free press is pretty damn high since then Mean tweets don't cut it.
Far left loonie Inga and LLR Chuck in lockstep once again.
I mean, who could have predicted this alignment, always in the form of Chuck adopting the lefty line and that occurs every single day between a loonie lefty and a "true conservative" like LLR Chuck, would happen again today!
Just the buzzing of an ignorant gnat who thinks he has some sort of power to do something because somebody said something he didn’t like. You are a powerless feckless idiot, a big mouth.
hi! i'm back from my 1st trout fishing of the year (1 brown on adams dry fly), and i see some LLR said... Name one single Republican issue where I have ever suggested “surrender” to the Democrats.
well, lets take a look see... oh here's one! Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year.
so, The Only way for the Republicans to keep their minority in the House, is to make sure that a LARGE (30 seats!!!) contingent of republicans are the sort (like LLRs) that will cave in to Dems, WHENEVER the DEMS want).
Sorry it took me so long to reply, but as i said; the trouts were rising
Country Club Republicans can go fuck themselves. They got their way in California, and where are they now? Mostly Democrats or "retired from politics".
They always want to rule or destroy.
Just being part of an alliance isn't good enough. Unless they are in charge and then they give NOTHING to their allies.
When they were allied to social conservatives in Bush years, all they did was bitch/moan 24/7 about those 'agents of intolerance'.
When Palin got nominated as VP, they kept attacking her for 10 years.
Now its Trump because they LOVE that cheap foreign labor. Who's going to mow their lawn or be their nanny if we stop illegal immigration. OMG, they might have to pay SS taxes for their servants!
Lamar "I have never accomplished anything conservative" Alexander and Pat Roberts are retiring. Tennessee elects a conservative in Alexander's place just like Marsha Blackburn. Hope Kansas comes through. I expect it will.
Wouldn't it be interesting if the number of conservatives in the Senate increases?
Somebody help Chuck, fopdoodle extraordinaire, to the fainting couch.
It's hard to think of a more loaded word than "dishonored" to describe the actions of a Muslim woman.
.@realDonaldTrump on @RashidaTlaib: "I think she dishonored herself and I think she dishonored her family. ... I thought it was highly disrespectful to the United States of America."
Trump dishonors the US daily. Americans have grown used to such talk, even from the highest office in the land. He may not have used the word MF, but he’s said many many many things as odious about many respectable people and members of his own Cabinet. So stop clutching your pearls, you snowflakes.
No we don’t know anything of the sort. What spins around in your little propagandist cultist brain, is not my concern. As Howard so apltly said, “He’s a poopagandist, he throws poo against the wall to see what sticks”.
Let me get this straight. She is sworn in on Jefferson's Quran, then promptly breaks her oath to defend the constitution by failing to assume the presumption of innocence and due process. I am most curious to know more about the voters in her home district who picked her in a primary.

She is sworn in on Jefferson's Quran, then promptly breaks her oath to defend the constitution by failing to assume the presumption of innocence and due process. I am most curious to know more about the voters in her home district who picked her in a primary.
First, I want to remind all readers that near the top of this page, I posted this morning a comment to the effect of, "I warned you all about Rashida Tlaib..."
But I want to take this question from Elliott A on, because it is a perfectly good, on-point question.
It is also a very minor point of pride for me, because when the primary for the Michigan 13th was opening up, I won a bet with another Althouse member in connection with that primary (an honorable bet, settled very honorably after I won).
So the shocking thing is that Rashida Tlaib was sort of an "establishment" candidate in that primary. It's too complicated to go into here, but the MI-13 was John Conyers' seat before he resigned in disgrace over a pileup of office harassment and impropriety allegations forced him out at the dawn of "#MeToo. There were technically two elections with two primaries. An election for the months-long remainder of Conyers' term, and a big primary for the full term in the 2018 general.
Rashida Tlaib focused on the big one, the full term election. It was (I thought) a risky move, but it paid off for her. Somebody else won the short-term election, but she won the primary for the full term. In that District, Democrats win with 70-80-90%. It's all in the primary. (Tlaib won the general with 85% over a completely unknown black Republican.)
So about that primary. Rashid Tlaib was one in a six-candidate race. Her main competitor was Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Two other "name" candidates were John Conyers' nephew, Ian Conyers, and also the illegitimate son of the infamous Detroit mayor Coleman A. Young. Born "Joel Loving," he has changed his name to Coleman Young II.
Tlaib won that primary by about 1,000 votes, and with just 1% more than her 2nd place rival, Brenda Jones. (Jones won the short-term race.) I've forgotton the total numbers, but I think that Tlaib had about 36% of the vote. And as everybody knew, winning the primary meant that she would be the next U.S. Rep. from the MI-13th.
Tlaib had some visibility, and was a bit of a darling for the hard progressive left. She won a Southwest Detroit-district seat in the Michigan House after she graduated from Cooley Law School, was term-limited out of the Michigan House, then ran for the state senate and lost the primary. And then she worked for the Sugar Law Center (a sort of left-wing public advocacy and litigation firm, where they get involved in contentious political litigation) while she waited for the next political opportunity. It came with Conyers' resignation. She got involved in a lot of political protests and other stunts before running for Congress, as I noted more than a year ago in other comments. She was always available to reporters and interviewers for political comments on whatever was going on. So the left wing media liked her, even more than the City Council President Brenda Jones.
A good reason for demobilizing forces in Afghanistan is because US Army Officers periodically get in trouble for trying to stop their cohort Afgani Officers from raping young boys.
Inga: "Hey! Didn’t Kanye West use the word MF in the Oval Office in one of his meetings with Trump? Why yes, he did."

That's your big come back? A non-elected official who happens to be a rap star cursed in the White House so its cool that the democrat Vice President drops the F-bomb in the White House years earlier?
LOL
I am afraid that ploy fails to meet even the often pathetic LLR Chuck standard for #StrongDemDefense!
As long as Country Club Republicans put their elitist tendencies and contempt of their brethren above party and principle, yes, we will continue to lose. This is nothing new to them since the Culture Wars have eaten their lunch and pants them for decades because they are too top lofty. Haughty.
One day these Country Club Republicans might actually find common cause with the majority of Republicans. That would be a great day. This would, however, necessitate dealing with their inferiors with respect and empathy.
FIDO: "One day these Country Club Republicans might actually find common cause with the majority of Republicans."
Not a chance. Chuck and his pals and his heroes have gone all in with the left.
All in.
Did you catch the latest? Why, Bill Kristol and the "TruCon" lads from The Cuckly Standard have decided to just drop all pretense and curl up at the feet of far-left billionaire Omidyar at their newest fake "conservative" site "The Bulwark"!
LOL
No doubt Omidyar has promised enough cash leadinf to 2020 that Kristol wont have to continue sucking up for that sweet sweet Soros cash (which he did at the Cuckly Standard).
But have no fear Chuck, as I have no doubt Kristol and his band of "severely conservative" "conservatives" will continue their long, long, behind the scenes collusion and collaboration with FusionGPS and other democrat oppo research firms....just the way you like them too!
Hooray for "True Conservatives!!"...at the feet of their lefty masters!

Then what?
Who's the party of hate?
They say the same thing every day and every hour of the day on MSNBC and CNN.
So in addition to being stupid and evil, Democrats have potty mouths? Not much of a surprise.
Remember that sentiment is not only directed at Trump but for every person who voted for him.
After all!
it only takes a majority vote in the House to impeach, and then; Pelosi is President!
right?
The soft bigotry of low expectations..,,
Yeah, Trump's the problem
Is terrorist supporting cunt that was fucking/married to her brother and lied about it? Or was that some other 7th Century desert pedophile worshipper?
Hard to tell them apart, particularly when they wear their bin bags.
Hillary lost - Trump must pay!
Do we need a actual reason to impeach? or just a fake Muller-Hillary Russian dossier reason?
Well, that gives her a hobby.
Her kids are 13 and 7 as of last summer.
But there are worse things than profanity. I think this is the most boring post. ;)
One of the emerging faces of Democrat women. Others are Kamala Harris, Kyrsten Sinema and Alexandria Occasional Cortex. Stay tuned for the show.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that this new batch of Dems, along with their cheerleaders in the mainstream media, will so turn off the American voting public, that this will be a short 2-year run for Dems. This House is going to be an out of control 5th grade classroom.
Pelosi and Schumer have a BIG problem: the lunatics are no longer merely a part of their party, but are becoming its face and voice and ideological leaders.
This may be a bigger threat to the Democrats than to Trump or the GOP, in the long run.
The Democrats shouldn't try to remove Trump until they can decide who they want instead. I can wait.
as they say; This is How you get More Trump
How can such stupid statements not trigger an adverse reaction? I don't suppose any of her fellow Democrats will criticize her for it. This is why I'm cynical and wary about diversity. I wouldn't want to be a minority in a country where people like this are the majority. Look at the way the Palestinians treat the Christian Palestinians in their midst. They're far more apt to apply power to truth than the reverse.
I'm old enough to remember a time when so many women were elected to Congress it was going to bring about a new decorum. Things were going to be much nicer because the ladies have arrived.

You have seriously underestimated the stupidity of the average 2018 Democrat voter, particularly the women.
That's the one thing you can never take away from Liberals:
Class.
Of course, a Congresswoman calling the POTUS a Motherfucker in public is totally uncivil.
And Trump is to blame.
BTW, Mitt Romney approves of her message.
I wonder if her next primary opponent can use the slogan "We gots to remove that bitch".. Think they could get away with it?

I warned Althouse’s readership about Rashida Tlaib numerous times. Like here
https://althouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-heard-thump-and-then-someone-moaning.html?showComment=1344194614544&m=1#c7334058650869673015
She’s essentially the successor to long-time punchline John Conyers in the Detroit 13th. Her constituents will love her for this sort of trash talk.
She’s a far-left, anti-Israel, Pro-Palestinian harridan. A harpy. A shrew. I reminded all of you that in 2016, when she had been term-limited out of the Michigan legislature, she appeared uninvited at a meeting of the Economic Club of Detroit and was arrested while attempting to shout down candidate Donald Trump and stop his speech.
Now; get used to her. I don’t see anyone dislodging her from her majority-minority district for many election cycles to come. Even when Michigan (likely) loses one Congressional seat after the 2020 census, her district will be drawn in a way protected by the VRA, and she’ll be in a position of safe re-election.
She's probably been talking this way in front of her children since they were two.
As a result, they probably pepper their speech with Motherfucker, Goddamn and Cunt - except when its a Religious ceremony - and then they tone it down and just say Shit and asshole.
Thanks for the warning Chuck. I'm not sure what good it did, but glad you're on patrol.
Hating the USA I can understand, but her hating Israel?
Wow, that's unacceptable.
Pelosi is fine with it. No censorship.
WE save censorship for conservatives on twitter and facebook.
Fox News collected some good reactions to this story from Twitter:

This bears repeating:
William said: "I wouldn't want to be a minority in a country where people like this are the majority."
It's going to be pretty hard for Nancy to keep these restless dimwits in check. It should be an entertaining 2 years.
And eventually cut the heads off the Trumpers and others.
@Temujin, hombre’s right.
Blogger gilbar said...
as they say; This is How you get More Trump
You might be right.
Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that.
Rashida Tlaib’s district always was and always will be a lost cause. The Trump problem is not that Rasida Tlaibs exist in Congress. The problem is that in the second year of Trump, we lost 2 winnable Republican House seats in the Detroit suburbs.
Heads will roll?
POC use the word motherfucker quite a bit. x
William: "I don't suppose any of her fellow Democrats will criticize her for it."
It should be noted that this insane leftist shares precisely the same strategic goals as LLR Chuck.
Smear amd impeach Trump and open borders.
Those 2 items alone guarantee perpetual full blown leftist control of our nation in perpetuity.
Which, coincidently, is also precisely what lefty publications and leaders from MoveOn, Media Matters and the Weekly Standard are calling for.
Rashida Tlaib republican Chuck: "Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that"
Another in a long line of hilariously transparent lefty lies.
Massive republican retirements at the most senior levels of the House combined with the complete exposure of the GOP estsblishment alignment with the dems and the complete abandonment of the republican base by these LLR's in terms of immigration, trade and healthcare in particular, sealed the deal.
Ryan leaves congress with a 12% approval rate...and for good reason.
Romneys little missive the other day completely ignored and did not even attempt to address immigration (republican base voter chief concern) nor trade (democrat/Trump voters chief concern).
In other words, another in an endless line of gifts to the dems/left by the LLR's.
Unexpectedly.
She’s from the party of Sirhan Sirhan.
Temujin: There isn't a doubt in my mind that this new batch of Dems, along with their cheerleaders in the mainstream media, will so turn off the American voting public, that this will be a short 2-year run for Dems. This House is going to be an out of control 5th grade classroom.
House elections are local, and the "American voting public" in the districts that elect people like Tlaib comprises voters who want people like Tlaib in Congress. I predict they'll be delighted with her performance and return her, or people like her, to Congress perpetually. If they were the least bit dismayed by a Congress that resembles "an out of control 5th grade classroom", they would not have sent Tlaib there.
There is no wise, sane "American voting public" that exists apart from, and has veto power over, people who vote for people like Tlaib. There are only patches of sane voters who hopefully constitute a large enough percentage of a local population to elect enough sane people to Congress to counteract them. If current demographic trends continue, there will over time be more and more Tlaibs in Congress, and fewer and fewer people who will even be bothered to play-act at being members of the highest legislative body of a rule-of-law First World republic.
Sorry.
No; Drago you’ve got me wrong. And since I have been clear, the fault rests entirely with you. All readers should presume that your falsehoods about me are deliberate on your part.
Rashida Tlaib wants Democrats in charge of both houses of Congress, and she wants a President like Kamala Harris.
I want Republicans in charge, and I want a President like Mitt Romney.

that's totally true, But!
my district (NE iowa) went back to blue, after being red. I doubt that there are LOTS of people (outside of shithole bastions of communism like Decorah, and Fayette) that are going to be impressed with what the demos are doing.

some LLR that assumes that we've Never Read a single word he's Ever written, said...

I can only assume that he means (if he means anything,) that he wants Republicans to be in charge of surrendering to the democrats. You see, the trouble is i can't figure out how to get the killfile thing to work; so i READ what this person says
Do these Dim Ding Dongs have an actual legislative program? If they do, I haven't heard one.
My four year old grandson visited over Christmas. He does tend to have temper tantrums that dissolve into long and loud wailing and crying--he simply loses all control. He'd make a good Democrat congressman right now--he certainly has as much emotional stability as many of those critters.
Don't be so verklempt by the new Overton Window.
She just grabbing Trump by his beef liver cunt
This is how you foment civil war.....
Name one single Republican issue where I have ever suggested “surrender” to the Democrats.
Chuck: "Drago if you didn’t like 2018, you are reeeaasllly not gonna like 2020."
You sound precisely Inga.
Precisely.
And, once again, that jocular tone has returned to your blog postings...right after a dem/far left House victory.
Very very similar to your pre-Nov 2016 postings...when you thought Hillary was a lock.....followed by 2 very very angry years of your postings when republicans unexpectedly won across the board.
Hmmmmmm
An absolutely perfect correlation between democrat/lefty success and your happiness quotient.
Why, its almost as if you were merely posing as a conservative in order to attack republicans, defend democrats, smear Trump and help get him impeached.
..
But that cant be, can it?
After all, you are as completely invested in conservative policy success as your hero, Bill Kristol.....who took money from Soros and Omidyar and collaborated directly with FusionGPS and called for democrat victories at every level.
Well.
You are certainly as "conservative" and "lifelong republican-y" as that.
Every bit in fact.
LOL
I want Republicans in charge,
As long as they behave like, and rollover for, Democrats.
and I want a President like Mitt Romney.
Who has a proven record of rolling over for the Left.
Palestine Congresswoman: I am become Trump
Chuck: "Name one single Republican issue where I have ever suggested “surrender” to the Democrats."
LOL
Like Mitt Romney alluded to in his pro-dem/left letter, LLR Chuck claims to "promote" conservative positions.
As Roger Simon pointed out, thats the scam.
The LLR's only "promote" conservative positions in order to fool the base and actually align with the dems.
Perfectly characterized by the perfect alignment of strategic intent between a LLR Chuck and loony dem rep Tlaib.
As Simon noted, this "promotion" always leads to LLR Failure Theatre and dem wins.
Trumps "crime" is that he has exposed these secret-dem ally hacks like LLR Chuck.
The good news, despite the House loss, is that the jig is up for Chuck and his pals. No more 5th column FalseFront Potempkin Conservative posturing.
I believe it was the other new Muslim woman, Ilhan Omar, that allegedly married her own brother.
Because I am not a racist, I don't care at all about "diversity". Bad ideas come from all races, genders, sexes, creeds, and colors. Propping them up as the beneficial effects of "diversity" is an insult to our individual intelligence and our common humanity.
Chuck is right. Tlaib we shall have with us always.
Howard: "Palestine Congresswoman: I am become Trump"
LOL
Right.
She was totally not an America/Israel hating lunatic lefty until Nov 2016.
LLR Chuck wants republican candidates with the "courage" to surrender, unconditionally, on live TV, in front of a world wide audience, to a lefty hack fake journalist from CNN (Chucks favorite network) and obama.
Trump is fortunate in his enemies, for the most part.

@eric, you know, I remember that, too. I wonder whether Althouse believed that, or did she know her own sex better than that?
I expect Tlaib to be "blacked out" by the MSM as it will reflect badly on democrats so this may be the very last thing we hear from her other than sporadic brain farts that are covered locally.
Ask yourself which would be worse for the country and the world:
If the policies the Democrats are supporting are enacted or
If the policies the Republicans are supporting are enacted
It's funny how America/Israel hating lunatics happen to be democratics.

She may be talking about impeachment, but it is a Jew who is actually doing something.
Steve Cohen filed a bill of impeachment yesterday.
Did she co-sponsor it? Would she cosponsor a bill with a Jew?
Has anyone seen the text? It apparently has to do with Comey's firing but I can't find the text.

Didn't the Dems promise to be civil after they won the House?
What happened?
There is a concept of "Punching Down," which means you don't criticize anyone who is not a white male, or sympathetic to white males. It's a concept to which the Left is religiously devoted and one largely embraced by the news media.
That is why these outbursts, which are stunning to mainstream Americans and are likely to increase under an increasingly leftist Democratic Party, will not get traction in most media outlets.
It's not the result of simple passive bias, it's the result of a guiding principle.

The book, released in August, details the constitutional argument for impeachment. According to the website for the book, Trump should be impeached for taking the following actions:
Accepting illegal payments from foreign governments
Using government agencies to persecute political enemies
Obstructing justice
Abusing the pardon power
Undermining of the freedom of the press

Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year.
It's a three shell monte game with no pea. Each side (Dems/Repubs) passes the shells and the pea back and forth. The recieving side then palms the pea while the American people watch the shell shuffle and choose the shell they think the pea is under.
Maybe we can get her to wear her Burqua all of the time.
Let's see if the "Democracy dies in darkness" team decides to run with this. Not very likely, of course.
Rashida Tlaib republican Chuck: "Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year."
LOL
So there's the static, unthinking, astonishingly defeatest "conservative" vision Chuck offers: vote in "dem lite" (which alway results in "dem heavy" policy wins) or sit back and just let the dems take complete control.....which is precisely the same result as the LLR Chuck "dem lite" outcome....
If that were even remotely axiomatically true, Trump would not be in the White House.
QED
What Chuck seeks is an acceptance of permanent democrat/lefty ascendance....because of course he does....which is precisely what a 5th column dem/lefty interloper posing as a conservative would do......
....but not in this case. LOL. Oh no. Not in this case.....
Its very very important to LLR Chuck that we simply accept the dem/left narratives and permanent deference to the dems.
Hmmmmmm
Now why, do you suppose, he would want that?....
To ask the question is to answer the question.
The only remaining uncertainty is whether or not LLR Chucks beloved Kasich (pro-obamacare, pro-open borders, pro-EU/China trade deal dominence, pro-endless wars at the direction of the EU, etc) will simply offer up a Kasich-Luz Warren National Unity Ticket......with Warren at the top of the ticket?
She says she spoke with passion. Anyone think of someone else who spoke with passion and hated Jews?
So now we can proclaim that we are going to defeat that bitch Pelosi?
And we are going to defeat that bitch Ocasio?
And certainly we are going to defeat that AOC cunt. Right?
I mean seriously, democrats are the most foul-mouthed of creatures.
...widely celebrated as the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress.
What would happen if instead of widely celebrating these media-manufactured "firsts", we asked what took this self-manufactured group so long? If getting elected to Congress is important enough to widely celebrate, just what have Palestinian-American women been doing that kept them from achieving what non-Palestinian women achieved long ago?
The alternative is that every new member of Congress becomes a "first" in some way. First left-handed Aries from an odd-numbered district. First lesbian with IBD from north of the Mason-Dixon Line. First person with a 3.24 gpa from an SEC school who professionally played the harmonica.
It's never going to stop.
Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year.
When the CC Republicans leave the party, they're not going to be welcomed elsewhere. They're not going to be listened to, and they're not going to have any power.
The smart ones know this. Getting no respect from the activists and power brokers on the Left is why they became CC Republicans in the first place.

Country Club Republicans gave control of the House to Democrats for four decades. That's what you are advocating for. Country Club Republicans have no desire to lead, to govern. They can only be the 'loyal opposition'. To hell with that, Give me a double dose of un-Presidental Trump, please. Or should I say TWO SCOOPS!
If the country club Republican like you that wasted two years whining about President Trumps latest tweet instead of getting behind the Presidents agenda, Republicans would have gained seats in the House. You whined all that away, because shutup.

Did she issue a Fatwa?
LLR Chuck's Country Club republicans opposed Reagan, were severely uncomfortable with W's Christian faith, did not like the Tea Party and applauded the dems targeting the Tea Party members, laughed when obama targeted journalists and their families, defend the Europeans when they dont meet their defense requirements, collude with the dems to hollow out our middle class, and on and on it goes.
"Country Club republican" thinking leads to W handing the Education bill to Ted frickin Kennedy to write, nominates a David Souter and a Harriet Miers, raises taxes after promising never to do so, etc.
"Country Club republicanism" = permanent defeat of conservatism.
Which is why LLR Chuck worships at its altar and attacks any conservative that dares challenges the dems.

I do not use vulgarity regardless of how I am attacked by leftists and their trained "country club/LLR" lap poodles.
Chuck wants you to believe that his extremeover the top vulgarity is the fault of conservatives on this blog. (Has to be conservatives since for some odd inexplicable reason the leftists here never ever attack Chuck, ever, for any reason...almost as if they instinctively know to protect their own...)

Again, quite telling. Not only is Chuck in permament democrat narrative alignment mode as well as in perfect lefty lingo talking point alignment, he also exhibits the same social characteristics.

@Greg: She says she spoke with passion. Anyone think of someone else who spoke with passion and hated Jews?
He may have spoken with passion and hated Jews, but I doubt that Hitler used Mutter Ficker during addresses to crowds. He likely thought that too coarse for public speeches.
Of course, Hitlers's supporters were far less uncouth than today's Democrat Party members. There is that to consider, after all: venue is important. Hitler was addressing Nazi Party rallies. Perhaps we can excuse Tlaib's use of "motherfucking" because she was addressing a sympathetic crowd of Democrat Party members.

I'm not your Mother, but I suggest you might think about improving your mode of discourse rather than numbering your excuses for not doing so. Kind of would make the world a better place in some small way, IMHO. I'd give the same advice to Trump or any Leftist posting some diatribe against Trump or conservatives. We all could do with a bit more civility.
Trump can say motherfucker now. Woo!
Has Mitt Romney weighed in on this passionate commentary and the coarsening of our political discourse?
Vulgarity is quite commonly spoken in my work environment, and has been for as long as I've been in this business (back to the early 80's). Can't muster much objection to her speaking this way. Not a fan of hypocrisy card form of critique either.

If someone says they want to kill you- you should believe them.

If someone says your beliefs are wrongthink and should be suppressed and you should be reeducated- you should believe them.
If someone says you're evil because of your skin color you should realize they really believe that- or they wouldn't be saying it out loud.
If Jews and Christians ever wake up from their stupor and look at what Democrat politicians are saying, Democrats will never again control the house, senate, or be elected President. And if they succeed in getting people of pallor to view themselves as Whites rather than American, their hold on power is gone.

How dare anyone suggest that Chuck is responsible for his own behavior!
Rashida Tlaib seems to be another feckless cunt.
Boy! Chuck, fopdoodle extraordinaire, has really gotten bitchy about conservatives wandering off the Republican reservation. It is almost like he needs conservatives to kowtow to GOPe, Inc. as part of his (make believe, online only) persona or else!
Yeah, Trump has shown that LLRs are paper tiger pissants who really just want to lose honorably. And then he just went about the business of America, which is business.
312,000 jobs added and the long-term unemployed returning to the workforce. Amazing that doing conservative things (legislatively when Paul Ryan wasn't being a useless Pelosi chew toy) improves the position of normal Americans. But, we are told by the likes of Chuck, disgusting and useless fopdoodle, that Trump and the GOP will be routed because country club Republican shitstains will pound their tiny fists on their high chair trays if we don't go back to pretending LLRs have normals' best interests in mind.
Nope. Sell crazy elsewhere.
I don't really give a shit what this new congresswoman has to say. She can go piss up a rope for all I care. I mean, who the fuck does this cunt think she is anyway. And if some cocksucker like Chuck or some motherfucker like Craig wants to defend her then -
Tits.
What are they going to impeach him for?
Honest question because I don't know. What has he done that rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors? I dont think you can say Russia collusion when the investigation isn't done yet, can you?
Too bad Mittens didn’t want to actually fight to be President. Trump OWNS country clubs, but he’s smart enough to know that politics isn’t a country club.

Got some examples? Is this like when Obama's campaign turned of zip code verification on credit card donations? Or is this like "donations" to a shady foundation?
Using government agencies to persecute political enemies
Again, got some examples?
Obstructing justice
I suppose this is in regards to firing Comey, but this hasn't stopped the Mueller investigation.
Abusing the pardon power
Whom has he pardoned?
Undermining of the freedom of the press
By criticizing them? He hasn't thrown any reporters in prison, unlike his predecessor.
With or without cause, they will impeach him if they can.
Better a White motherfucker than a Black Caucsucker.
With or without cause, they will impeach him if they can.
Big deal. They don't have to votes in the Senate to remove him. All it would demonstrate is that the Democrat members of the House don't like him. We already know that.
Abusing the pardon power
Whom has he pardoned?
Marc Rich?
LLR Trump: "Trump National Bedminster Golf Club.
I rest my case."
You dont have a case. In fact, what you have is precisely the opposite of what you think you have.
Trump businesses are simply playing by the rules you LLR's created with your dem allies. As any business must.
But Trump, as an elected figure, is openly fighting for rule changes which would overturn the current rules...and he is being fought tooth and nail by the dems and the....(wait for it)....LLR's!!!
LOL

Never mind how you get more Trump. The pressing question is, "Where do we get more Trump?"
Tlaib is the new face of Palestinian-Americans. Sirhan Sirhan can finally die off, assured that his toxic venom has found a new host organism.
I'll take about 535 of him.
Trump owns many country clubs, so he knows perfectly well how aligned the LLR Chucks are with the dems.
One reason of several he pays no attention to them.
Pattons quote that he would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me can be re-purposed perfectly by substituting Nancy Pelosi and the dem-supporting LLR cucks for the relevant parties.
Since Palestine never existed, there's no such thing as a Palestinian-American. Muslim-American or Arab-American would make more sense, except the left is anti-semitic, so they promote the "Palestinian" aspect.
Never mind how you get more Trump. The pressing question is, "Where do we get more Trump?"
The flip side of Chuck Republicans leaving Trump is going to be conservative Dems like Jim Webb leaning Trump. So, to answer your, question, the source has hardly gone dry. Events like this won't change minds in Tlaib's district, but it will in others.
'palestinians' are a grab bag of Bedouin, from many places including Albania, Arafat's uncle, the grand mufti, was circassian, which is a turkic people, the nephew was born in cairo, which was a whole other british colonial dependency, with some autonomous features, but tlaib is of reputedly Jordanian background,
yes james webb, an iconoclastic Reagan democrat who had resevations about overseas operations like Somalia, who reluctantly signed on to Afghanistan and Iraq, who chose poorly in embracing the democrats, the reaction in the 2016 primary debates, should have made that clear,
Will they name a crime or just on general Trumpiness?
Tlaib is the new face of Palestinian-Americans
I'm sure I will not vote for a hyphenated American. Join the club or leave. Please...pretty please?
Honey Bunny Tlaib : [about to submit her bill for impeachment] I love you, Pumpkin.
Pumpkin Pelosi : I love you, Honey Bunny.
Pumpkin Pelosi : [Standing up with a gavel] All right, everybody be cool, this is just calling the House to order!
Honey Bunny Tlaib : Any of you fucking pricks don't vote for impeachment, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of ya!
either the two scoops, or feeding the koi,
this is the way only left politics can be considered legitimate:

Undermining the free press? With mean tweets? The last President threatened journalists with jail and attempted to hack or intercept their communications to find out who the whistle blowers in his administration were.
The bar to undermining the free press is pretty damn high since then
Mean tweets don't cut it.
What exactly is a "Palestinian American"? Where is she from?
“Of course, “Trump” is how you get More Pelosi. We’ve now seen that.”
True! Or a House full of progressive Democrats.
Far left loonie Inga and LLR Chuck in lockstep once again.
I mean, who could have predicted this alignment, always in the form of Chuck adopting the lefty line and that occurs every single day between a loonie lefty and a "true conservative" like LLR Chuck, would happen again today!
What are the odds of that?
Its positively inexplicable!!
“Keep pushing it, leftists.
Keep it up.”
Just the buzzing of an ignorant gnat who thinks he has some sort of power to do something because somebody said something he didn’t like. You are a powerless feckless idiot, a big mouth.
Mother fucker, huh. Attacking mom, dad, baby, and apple pie, seems likes a losing combination.
Inga: "Just the buzzing of an ignorant gnat who thinks he has some sort of power to do something because somebody said something he didn’t like. "
LOL
Yes, a pro-antifa leftist who refuses to criticize muslim terrorists wrote that. Just now.
Without irony!
hi! i'm back from my 1st trout fishing of the year (1 brown on adams dry fly), and i see
some LLR said...
Name one single Republican issue where I have ever suggested “surrender” to the Democrats.
well, lets take a look see... oh here's one!
Keep on losing country club Republicans and in the next House election the Democrats will add 30 more seats to the 40 that they won last year.
so, The Only way for the Republicans to keep their minority in the House, is to make sure that a LARGE (30 seats!!!) contingent of republicans are the sort (like LLRs) that will cave in to Dems, WHENEVER the DEMS want).
Sorry it took me so long to reply, but as i said; the trouts were rising

Wife and daughter would be a good start, also Rap singers
"True! Or a House full of progressive Democrats."
-- Obama is how we got a House full of Tea Party Republicans. The House is naturally reactionary.
Note: It is reactionary *by design.*
Country Club Republicans can go fuck themselves. They got their way in California, and where are they now? Mostly Democrats or "retired from politics".
They always want to rule or destroy.
Just being part of an alliance isn't good enough. Unless they are in charge and then they give NOTHING to their allies.
When they were allied to social conservatives in Bush years, all they did was bitch/moan 24/7 about those 'agents of intolerance'.
When Palin got nominated as VP, they kept attacking her for 10 years.
Now its Trump because they LOVE that cheap foreign labor. Who's going to mow their lawn or be their nanny if we stop illegal immigration. OMG, they might have to pay SS taxes for their servants!
Lamar "I have never accomplished anything conservative" Alexander and Pat Roberts are retiring. Tennessee elects a conservative in Alexander's place just like Marsha Blackburn. Hope Kansas comes through. I expect it will.
Wouldn't it be interesting if the number of conservatives in the Senate increases?
Somebody help Chuck, fopdoodle extraordinaire, to the fainting couch.
“Yes, a pro-antifa leftist who refuses to criticize muslim terrorists wrote that. Just now.”
Just now the Propagandist lied, once again. Yawn. Your propaganda is old, stale and boring. Get new material.

It's hard to think of a more loaded word than "dishonored" to describe the actions of a Muslim woman.
.@realDonaldTrump on @RashidaTlaib:
"I think she dishonored herself and I think she dishonored her family. ...
I thought it was highly disrespectful to the United States of America."
ah journolists got to be hacks, exhibits #210, but recall the socialist who stabbed bolsanaro, Carlos slims had a sad over that,
Trump dishonors the US daily. Americans have grown used to such talk, even from the highest office in the land. He may not have used the word MF, but he’s said many many many things as odious about many respectable people and members of his own Cabinet. So stop clutching your pearls, you snowflakes.
Inga: "Americans have grown used to such talk, even from the highest office in the land. He may not have used the word MF, ..."
LOL
You know who DID use such language?
Joe Biden!!!
With Obama!!
Number of dem/left/LLR complaints?
ZERO
The way one honors the Office of the Presidency is to slide cigars into the orifices of female interns.
Also, sexually assaulting women jyst off the oval office.
Also, having young gals "servicing" secret service agents at your command, as JFK did.
History started 15 minutes ago for Inga.
Again. As always.
As Joe Biden might say, this typical dem rep using that language is a "big f*****' deal".
Palestinians are the middle east's trailer trash. No Arabs want them around so they give em money and point 'em at Israel.
Inga: "Just now the Propagandist lied, once again. Yawn. Your propaganda is old, stale and boring. Get new material."
Its easily disproved with a link or two...if you had ever criticized antfa or islamic supremacists.
But we both know you never have, dont we?
LOL
Rcocean: "They got their way in California, and where are they now?"
Precisely where LLR Chuck wants them: in permanent microscopic minority party status.
And LLR Chuck is desperate to take that model nationwide.
I don’t think she has the temperament to be a representative.
“But we both know you never have, dont we?”
No we don’t know anything of the sort. What spins around in your little propagandist cultist brain, is not my concern. As Howard so apltly said, “He’s a poopagandist, he throws poo against the wall to see what sticks”.
Hey! Didn’t Kanye West use the word MF in the Oval Office in one of his meetings with Trump? Why yes, he did.
LOL.
Let me get this straight. She is sworn in on Jefferson's Quran, then promptly breaks her oath to defend the constitution by failing to assume the presumption of innocence and due process. I am most curious to know more about the voters in her home district who picked her in a primary.

Let me get this straight. She is sworn in on Jefferson's Quran, then promptly breaks her oath to defend the constitution by failing to assume the presumption of innocence and due process. I am most curious to know more about the voters in her home district who picked her in a primary.
First, I want to remind all readers that near the top of this page, I posted this morning a comment to the effect of, "I warned you all about Rashida Tlaib..."
But I want to take this question from Elliott A on, because it is a perfectly good, on-point question.
It is also a very minor point of pride for me, because when the primary for the Michigan 13th was opening up, I won a bet with another Althouse member in connection with that primary (an honorable bet, settled very honorably after I won).
So the shocking thing is that Rashida Tlaib was sort of an "establishment" candidate in that primary. It's too complicated to go into here, but the MI-13 was John Conyers' seat before he resigned in disgrace over a pileup of office harassment and impropriety allegations forced him out at the dawn of "#MeToo. There were technically two elections with two primaries. An election for the months-long remainder of Conyers' term, and a big primary for the full term in the 2018 general.
Rashida Tlaib focused on the big one, the full term election. It was (I thought) a risky move, but it paid off for her. Somebody else won the short-term election, but she won the primary for the full term. In that District, Democrats win with 70-80-90%. It's all in the primary. (Tlaib won the general with 85% over a completely unknown black Republican.)
So about that primary. Rashid Tlaib was one in a six-candidate race. Her main competitor was Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Two other "name" candidates were John Conyers' nephew, Ian Conyers, and also the illegitimate son of the infamous Detroit mayor Coleman A. Young. Born "Joel Loving," he has changed his name to Coleman Young II.
Tlaib won that primary by about 1,000 votes, and with just 1% more than her 2nd place rival, Brenda Jones. (Jones won the short-term race.) I've forgotton the total numbers, but I think that Tlaib had about 36% of the vote. And as everybody knew, winning the primary meant that she would be the next U.S. Rep. from the MI-13th.
Tlaib had some visibility, and was a bit of a darling for the hard progressive left. She won a Southwest Detroit-district seat in the Michigan House after she graduated from Cooley Law School, was term-limited out of the Michigan House, then ran for the state senate and lost the primary. And then she worked for the Sugar Law Center (a sort of left-wing public advocacy and litigation firm, where they get involved in contentious political litigation) while she waited for the next political opportunity. It came with Conyers' resignation. She got involved in a lot of political protests and other stunts before running for Congress, as I noted more than a year ago in other comments. She was always available to reporters and interviewers for political comments on whatever was going on. So the left wing media liked her, even more than the City Council President Brenda Jones.
Her challengers in the primary were
Talib explains to her young son that Trump has sexual relations with his mother. I think trumps mother is dead so that makes him also a necrophiliac.
These Palistinians are a rum lot, as bad as the Afgani boy fu..kers.
A good reason for demobilizing forces in Afghanistan is because US Army Officers periodically get in trouble for trying to stop their cohort Afgani Officers from raping young boys.
All it would take Inga is a single link showing you went after antifa or islamic supremacists.
A single link....which isnt there...because you never have.
More importantly, you never will.
LOL
Not even your ally and pal and ideological buddy LLR Chuck can help you with this one!
Inga: "Hey! Didn’t Kanye West use the word MF in the Oval Office in one of his meetings with Trump? Why yes, he did."
LOL
That's your big come back? A non-elected official who happens to be a rap star cursed in the White House so its cool that the democrat Vice President drops the F-bomb in the White House years earlier?
LOL
I am afraid that ploy fails to meet even the often pathetic LLR Chuck standard for #StrongDemDefense!
As long as Country Club Republicans put their elitist tendencies and contempt of their brethren above party and principle, yes, we will continue to lose. This is nothing new to them since the Culture Wars have eaten their lunch and pants them for decades because they are too top lofty. Haughty.
One day these Country Club Republicans might actually find common cause with the majority of Republicans. That would be a great day. This would, however, necessitate dealing with their inferiors with respect and empathy.
So maybe not so soon. Chuck loves his airs.
Let me guess what Inga's next excuse for Biden will be: its Trumps fault Biden dropped the F-bomb in the White House in 2010!
LOL
Now that excuse would absolutely be LLR Chuck-worthy!
She seems nice.
Democraps are not happy with her. You gotta keep than insane shit under your hat like the rest of em'.
Fatwa of silence.
FIDO: "One day these Country Club Republicans might actually find common cause with the majority of Republicans."
Not a chance. Chuck and his pals and his heroes have gone all in with the left.
All in.
Did you catch the latest? Why, Bill Kristol and the "TruCon" lads from The Cuckly Standard have decided to just drop all pretense and curl up at the feet of far-left billionaire Omidyar at their newest fake "conservative" site "The Bulwark"!
LOL
No doubt Omidyar has promised enough cash leadinf to 2020 that Kristol wont have to continue sucking up for that sweet sweet Soros cash (which he did at the Cuckly Standard).
But have no fear Chuck, as I have no doubt Kristol and his band of "severely conservative" "conservatives" will continue their long, long, behind the scenes collusion and collaboration with FusionGPS and other democrat oppo research firms....just the way you like them too!
Hooray for "True Conservatives!!"...at the feet of their lefty masters!
Huzzah!
The Democrats are ever quick to remind us that THEY are the party of the Common Man.
And they never cease to demonstrate just how common that is.
LOL
Keep talking, Fatwa mamma.
The Mueller-Hillary probe is still fishing. Let it finish!
Hooray for "True Conservatives!!"
Kristol and company are true conservatives, Drago.
They're on a mission to conserve the Deep State and the cabal of billionaires it serves.
Eee gads. Check out the face of the corruptocrat party. Yikes
Abnormal brain in a jar wrote: LOL

I finally find something Inga types that I believe.
The sort of aggressive stupidity Inga displays cannot be faked.

Typo. Should be 6;50 PM.
Well at least it was not in a well-lit room. We'll always have that (and Paris).
